Is Spybot a good download for my computer?
Or Microsoft has an equal product which is free?
Hello
SpyBot is an antispyware scanner and I use it only as a scanner at the request.
SpyBot causes problems with IE7 and IE 8. TeaTimer in its configuration and put the SBSD Service
STOP and MANUAL - you can use SpyBot as a scanner at the request.
Start - type in the search box-> find Services, at the top of the list, click straight on - RUN AS ADMIN.
The value of MANUAL and STOPPED
In SpyBot - settings - set TeaTimer to disabled (clear)
Reboot and it won't load and can be run on demand.
==================================================================
Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.
Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
Operation of the network.
Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)
Two versions of Avast are available 5.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 5.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4
Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/
Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.
http://www.prevx.com/ <-->-->
http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp <-->-->
PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp
Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
I hope this helps.

explaining hibernate vs closed for the computer illiterate
A relative of mine who is computer illiterate asked why she cannot use hibernate all the time instead of shutdown down, as the computer starts much faster. She seemed to have trouble "getting" the explanation of exactly what does each of them, so I tried this explanation. Is it specific enough for someone who can barely send an email or type one letter and often needs help in web forms?
[QUOTE] At the time where you were working, you remember how at the end of the day you had to clear your desk so the janitor could clean it up? Still occasionally you would leave a project on the desk and the concierge would not be able to clean it because of stuff on him. With the help of hibernation is like leaving all your stuff on the desktop. He is allowed to do once or twice, but if you do all the time the system will get dirty and dirt will gum work. Using of closing down, it's like compensation on your desktop if the concierge can clean it up. You want to use shut down regularly to prevent the accumulation of dirt on the computer. [/ QUOTE]
It's a pretty good explanation for someone computer illiterate and I believe that voluntarily ignorant or is there a better?
Oh, and I am aware that Windows 7 is much better on does not need to be restarted as often as Windows 95, but it's always a good idea.
Looks like a good enough explanation for me.

I downloaded a video of my own using the Firefox Addon to unplug myspace page. It saved in my files, but when I try to open it, I get a message that says: 'a licence was not issued for this computer. When I click 'ok', it brings me to the block Presonus Studio One asking me to purchase a license now. In fact, a licence was issued to this computer, and I understand that there is a problem with customers not getting Presonus does not properly established with the approval of their product. But it shouldn't stop me from playing my own videos on my own computer.
Sorry, never heard of this software before. How are Firefox users able to listen to the music that is created b this software.

It seems that you have two plugins Flash for Firefox. Not a good idea because it may confuse Firefox. Try to get rid of the old version.
